Provenance
Commissioned by Frank Pick for London North Eastern Railway (LNER) and London Midland Scottish Railway (LMS) ‘It’s quicker by Rail: Royal Deeside’ poster of 1937.
Braemar Castle
This sunlit Highland landscape depicts Braemar Castle, located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The castle was originally constructed as a hunting lodge and as a strategic response to the growing influence of the Farquharson Clan in 1628. The painting by McIntosh is an original painting for the London North Eastern Railway (LNER) and London Midland Scottish Railway (LMS) ‘It’s quicker by Rail: Royal Deeside’ poster of 1937.
As part of a series it was created to attract people to travel by train to either the east or west coast of Scotland. McIntosh who at the time was renowned for his detailed landscape paintings of Scotland was struggling to find recognition. He was not always popular with art critics and was rejected by the Royal Academy a number of times before finding success after Frank Pick, Chief Executive of London Transport, purchased a piece of his work in 1937 and commissioned the Harrow Weald poster designs soon after. This led to McIntoshes long standing relationship with various railway companies and eventually after the war the nationalised British Rail from the 1930’s – 1960’s.
The watercolour of this scene by McIntosh is in the Fleming Collection, the scene believed to have been created by the artist en plein air and used to later complete the fully realised painting back in his studio.
James McIntosh Patrick
McIntosh was one of Scotlands leading 20th century artists. Born in Dundee, he was the son of an architect and a linen ware designer. He studied at Glasgow School of Arts, gaining notable success in his 20s, through his acceptance into the Royal Academy (before his many rejections) as well as gaining an international reputation as a highly detailed landscape panorama and townscape printmaker. In the 1930’s when printmaking fell out of popularity he resumed oil painting choosing mainly landscapes which later became emblems of railway posters.
In 1929, McIntosh started working at Dundee School of Art, teaching etching, painting and History of Art.
While he was teaching his career progressed as he was elected as an Associate of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers and in 1935 and then given the Guthrie Award for his painting Marion. As the outbreak of the second world war begun McIntosh was commissioned as a major in the Camouflage Wing of the Royal School of Military Engineering and served mainly in Italy and Northern Africa. His time abroad during the war permanently changed his artistic practice as he left behind his studio to work predominantly outdoors.
In 1957 he was elected in the Royal Scottish Academy and went on to have two solo shows at the Dundee City Art Gallery in 1967 and 1987. He was awarded an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws by Dundee University in 1973 and an Honorary Fellowship of Duncan of Jordanstone college in 1988 before he died aged 91 in 1998.

Interior of Knole House, 19th Century Oil on Canvas Painting
Located in London, GB
This grand scene depicts the interior of Knole House, a country house and former archbishops palace. Situated within the 1,000 acre Knole Park the house ranks in the top five of England's largest houses occupying a total of four acres.
The majority of the canvas is given to a well furnished drawing room resplendent with various paintings, tapestries and furniture. To this day Knole House has one of the finest collections of 17th century English upholstered furniture in the world. Much of it was made for the royal palaces of the ruling Stuart dynasty and is of the highest quality. It is likely that the chair and footstools seen her originally came to Knole house as part of the vast collection put together by Charles, 6th Earl of Dorset.
This work has incredible intricate detail in all aspects of the space including the depiction of flowers in vases, a bird in a cage and adorned trinkets. On the armchair sits an English guittar, popular in Victorian Britain. The instrument is recognisable for its pear-shaped body, flat base and rather short neck.
A dog stands before an opened door leading further into the house. In the distance we are given just a glimpse of a lady and gentleman conversing at the window. From here a lovely flow of daylight floods into the rest of the scene making the whole work bright and airy. In the foreground on the windowsill is a music book with pages open and an untouched peach. This perhaps signifies the sudden rush of the young woman away from her resting place to meet the unexpected suitor outside.
